On receipt, the purchaser must immediately inspect all delivered goods for damage incurred during transport, as
well as for material and manufacturing faults. BARCO must be informed immediately in writing of any com-
plaints.
The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software on
the date of commissioning, at the latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of
complaint, BARCO can repair the fault or provide a replacement at its own discretion within an appropriate pe-
riod. If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a reduction in the pur-
chase price or cancellation of the contract (redhibition). All other claims, in particular those relating to compensa-
tion for direct or indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other
services provided by BARCO, being a component of the system or independent services, will be deemed invalid
provided the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties guaranteed in writing or due to
the intent or gross negligence on the part of BARCO.
If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on good delivered by BARCO, or if the goods
are handled incorrectly, in particular if the systems are commissioned or operated incorrectly or if, after the
transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not agreed upon in the contract, all guarantee claims of the
purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage are system failures which are attrib-
uted to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser, e. g. interfaces. Normal wear as well
as normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by BARCO either.

2. Best Practices

2 Best Practices
All service interventions are restricted to certified people!
Certification requires a training!

Projection modules of the OL series are highly sophisticated system. The functional components comprise the
front end box, the projection engine, the LED chain, and the cooling unit.

In case of mal function these components can be replaced in the field.

Any repair work needs to be done in factory!

Do not open the system unless the system


has been switched to idle (via the Barco Wall Control Manager or via the web interface)
and disconnected from the mains (switched off by the main switch).
(Switching to idle prior to switching off ensures that all data is saved first and avoids data
loss.)

Projection systems of the OL series are addressed via their IP address. The IP address is linked to the MAC address
of the network interface of the front end box. Connecting a projection system to the BCMC-101 for the first time
assigns an IP address of the short term IP address range.
Any manipulation of this initial pair MAC address – IP address (for example assigning an IP address of the perma-
nent IP address range or changing a MAC address after replacing a front end box and so on) requires some steps
to fix the new pair MAC address – IP address.

2.1 How to change a MAC Address and/or an IP address of a projection system

2.1.1 Requirements:
The PC/Laptop is connected to the WALL interface of BCMC.
The projection system is connected to the WALL interface of BCMC

A change in the the MAC address and/or the IP address of a projection system (in general
a change in any of the network settings) requires a reboot of the projection system as
well as a restart of the DHCP server (of the BCMC) and a restart of the BCM service.

________________________________________________________________________________
Barco – OL Series – R59115900 – service manual – Revision 00 – October-2010 14
2. Best Practices

Reboot of the projection system needs to be done using the web page of the projection
system.

2.1.2 Where to edit an IP address / MAC address


IP address / MAC address can be edited on the BCMC web interface, page Wall DHCP, section DHCP Permanent IP
address table.

2.1.3 How to access the BCMC web interface


Connect your PC/Laptop to the WALL interface of BCMC.
Launch internet explorer.
In the address bar, enter the URL http://172.29.1.1.

2.1.4 How to enter the IP address / MAC address in the permanent IP address table?
Any device connected to the WALL interface of BCMC gets an IP address by the DHCP server and is listed in the
DCHP short term IP table.

Unless the change of MAC address / IP address has been completed it is exactly this short
term IP address the projection systems is listening to.
On your PC/Laptop, launch a web browser. In its address bar, enter the IP address of the
projection module: the web interface will be opened.
If you neither connect to the projection system nor note the IP address you might later not
be able to reboot the projection system.

In case a device does not show up in the short term IP table check if its MAC address is
already visible in the DHCP permanent table and use the related IP address (the front end
box might have already been connected to the BCMC).

________________________________________________________________________________
Barco – OL Series – R59115900 – service manual – Revision 00 – October-2010 15
2. Best Practices

Now switch back to the BCMC web inter face, Wall DCHP, DCHP Permanent IP table.
Select the device in the short term IP table and click on Permanent: This will list the device in the permanent IP
address table with an IP address of the permanent address range.

The command Permanent does not remove the entry from the web page, i.e. the MAC address of the device will
show up twice, once in the short term IP table and in the DHCP Permanent IP table. (After some time, the entry
will disappear automatically, alternatively select the entry and click Remove).
In the DCHP Permanent table you can edit the MAC address and the last octet of the IP address. This is visualized
by a gray background.
In case a front end box is physically replaced and the entry of the previous front end box is still listed in the DHCP
Permanent table you might want to overwrite the MAC address of the previous device with the MAC address of
the new device: This allows later addressing the projection system with the well-known IP address. Alternatively
delete the entry of the previous MAC address from the DHCP permanent table (tick the entry and click Delete)
and modify the IP address of the new device.

The changes of the web page are are only "cosmetic" unless completed by
A restart of the DCHP server
A restart of the projection system
A restart of the BCMC service

2.1.5 How to restart the DCHP server


Select the entry and click Apply – this writes the new pair MAC address / IP address into the DCHP server table.

________________________________________________________________________________
Barco – OL Series – R59115900 – service manual – Revision 00 – October-2010 16
2. Best Practices

2.1.6 How to reboot the projection system


Switch to the web interface of the projection system, log in as admin.
Navigate to Projector and click reboot – This introduces the new IP address to the projection system (after reboot
you need to use the new IP address to connect to the projection system).

2.1.7 How to restart BCM service


On the BCMC web interface, navigate to Admin.
Click on Tasks-BCM Service -restart – now the new address gets visible in BCM.

3. Rear access systems

The new front end box will be listed in the short term IP table with its MAC address and a random IP address of
the short term range.

In case the old projection system is still listed in the permanent IP table, just edit the "old" MAC address to be-
come the new one.

Select the entry in the short term IP table and click Remove.

In the permanent IP table, select the modified entry and click Apply: This will assign the "old" permanent IP
address to the new MAC address.

Alternatively select the entry of the replaced front end box in the permanent IP table and click delete.
Subsequently click Add and fill in the new MAC address.
Edit the automatically assigned IP address to match the IP address of the removed projection system.
Select the entry and click Apply.

Clicking Apply restarts the DHCP server.


In addition the BCM service needs to be restartet (on the page Admin of the BCMC web
interface.
To "link" the MAC address with the IP address the projection systems need to reboot.

If applicable, navigate to Devices. Select the new projection system and configure it wrt Input, Input selection
mode, timing, scaling, and grouping.

In the BCM client, select the video wall and trigger a Sense6 color adjustment cycle to link the new front end box
(MAC address) with the color settings of the projection engine.
